For 10 years the RAF has been conducting Reaper drone missions from RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire.

The changing character of warfare means that increasingly personnel are based in a different location to the military operation they are working on.

Since 2014, the UK has taken a leading role in the counter-Daesh Global Coalition, flying daily missions over Iraq and Syria, using the RAF's 10 Reapers based in the Middle East as part of Operation Shader.

The crews flying these drones are thousands of miles away at Ground Control Station, including at RAF Waddington.
